Preparing For Mediation
by Lisa A. Hansen, JD
In Missouri parties must attend mediation if there is a dispute about child custody issues. The requirement is for two hours but parties can choose to stay longer or return for additional visits if they feel that they are on the right track to resolving their issues.

Death And Taxes (And Divorce)
by Kelly Burris, JD
We’ve all heard the old adage that “there’s nothing certain in life but death and taxes” and maybe that’s why, when it comes to divorce, so many people are surprised at what effect a divorce can have on those two seemingly unmovable certainties. Everything else in divorce is so up in the air and seems so much more important, that the effect divorce can have on what you leave for your loved ones and what the government will take often gets moved way down on the priority list of concerns. However, in the interest of leaving no stone unturned, it’s important to consider the effects that divorce can have on estate planning and tax planning.

Preparing For A Temporary Orders Hearing
by Katie L. Lewis, JD
When a party files for divorce, it is sometimes necessary for there to be a hearing on Temporary Orders. A hearing on Temporary Orders can be requested by either party and may occur at anytime during the pendency of the divorce action. The hearing allows the Court to make orders in relation to custody, possession and access, child support, spousal support and the allocation of assets and debts. These orders usually remain in full force and full effect until the divorce is granted or they may be modified prior to the finalization of the divorce.
